Personally I loved Dean... I also loved watching Walker, Furniss, Cresse, and others... but where does Dean rank among all of LSU baseball players?
McDonald/Walker seem to be #1 on any list

You don't get many like him to stay for 4 years. He and Katz were a special pair. Definitely deserves to be on any all-time list.

top 10, closer to 10 than 1

That sounds about right

Not in my top 10, but I'd say top 20 for sure.

If you're talking pure numbers, he's prob top 5. But a lot of that has to do with being a 4 year starter.
If you're talking overall talent+numbers, it pushes him down the list a little.

I always called him beans
Posted on 4/24/14 at 6:40 pm to tduecen
Are we talking all players of just hitters? Because if it's all players he might not make the top 10.

It does. He's all over the all-time lists.

Seemed like he was always able to come up with the clutch hit when we needed a run and we had a runner in scoring position.

A contractor came to my house couple of weeks ago and said Blake Dean was his son. Does anybody know if this could be true? Also said another son of his was on the team now.

His brother is a freshman on the team
Posted on 4/24/14 at 6:46 pm to MBclass83
they are from FL, but his brother is definitely on the team. Dont know if his parents are in BR these days.

The "dad" said he lives in Crestview Fl. He contracts for terminix.
